The first commercial Grüner Veltliner planted east of the Rocky Mountains—and James Suckling calls it "a stunning dry white" at 94 points. Sarah Troxell, a chemist-turned-winemaker, won Best Woman Winemaker at the 2014 International Women's Wine Competition—only the second East Coast winner ever. She and sixth-generation farmer Galen planted this Austrian variety in Pennsylvania in 2003, proving that great Grüner doesn't require the Danube. Peach, lemon, anise, and a long mineral finish. First US Grüner east of Rockies (planted 2003). James Suckling 94 pts. Winemaker won Best Woman Winemaker 2014. Pennsylvania proving ground for Austrian greatness.

More about Galen Glen

Galen and Sarah Troxell planted their 1995 farm with Gruner Veltliner in 2003—pioneering in Pennsylvania before anyone else was thinking about Austrian grapes here. Lehigh Valley soil, family legacy, modern ideas. Recently partnered with Skurnik for wider reach. The first PA winery with serious multi-state distribution deserved.
